Abstract
A procedure for oxidizing organic compounds having allylic hydrogen atom(s) involving the steps of reactively contacting the organic compound with a combination of a periodic acid or metal periodate and an alkyl hydroperoxide under conditions of normal as well as elevated pressure of a suitable gas like air. The reaction can conveniently be conducted at temperatures between about 0-65° C. in a cosolvent system of water and organic solvent(s).
Claims42
A method to oxidize an allylic compound, comprising:
- (1) contacting the allylic compound, a metal periodate, periodic acid, and an alkyl hydroperoxide to obtain a mixture;
- (2) increasing the pressure on the mixture to obtain a pressurized mixture;
- and
- (3) optionally changing the temperature of the pressurized mixture.
